She was 84 years old and had outlivtd ber excellent husband, Uriah Cullum, 30 years. All her children and a number of her grand-children are married and are citizens of worth and intelligence. Rev. A. C. Wiikins, D. D., delivered her funeral sermon at Bethlehem church and she was laid by the side of members of the family of four and five genera tlOEl?, at IDS uruiiier uuijuufc giuuuu. Rev. J D. Croufc is absent at Conference in Columbia. His return to our place is confidently expected and should the Bishop act otherwise our people would be grievously disap pointed. Rev. A. C Wilkins, D. D , left for the city of Florence, S. C, to attend the Baptist State Convention, which body meets there this year. W. W. Watson, cashier of the First National Bank, was married recently to Miss Mary Henly Dibble, of Orangeburg. The bride is the daughter pf ex-Congressman Dibble and the esteem that her father is held by his former constituents of our town, cause us to feel an unusual interest in bis accomplished daughter, who has become a resident of our village and the wife of one of our most popular business men. Her grace and beauty has captured our people and tbey are delighted at the acquisition to our society. The gatherer of the State Tribute Money, Frank Shealy, has come and gone and with him many sheckles that could have been otherwise used by our needy people in the discharge of obligations that :re pressing indeed. The most serious problem that confronts our people now is that of taxation and some relief must be given the people. A semi-annusl collection will become a necessity if the levy is not reduced, broken doses would be better than one drastic gobler and we could stand it better. Our erstwhile friend, Frank, is a model officer and his assistant, Mr. Shirey, genial and rapid, and then Josh as an accompanyment makes a trio that we delight to have visit us. T/~?Vir> \f" Roll r\f Aihdn VlRB v/a^;u> u uuju iu.> V* mmw spent the past week in our town. Col. G. T. Graham paid us a flying visit a few days ago. Assistant Attorney General, Col. IT. X. Gunter, enjoyed Thanksgiving with the old folk3 at home. The Colonel is a prospective candidate for Attorney General and the fortunes of Lexington men is lately in the ascendency, we expect the Colonel to be the Law officer of South Carolina after the next election. The residence of Dr. W. H. Timmerman is almost completed and will be the handsomest building in town when done. The Doctor is still prominently spoken of as the logical candidate for Governor and should L/n f n a La rr r\n 1 /I ue; uu v/oucu iu tuc piatc ue ??uuiu fill the executive chair, as he does all other positions with fidelity and that sturdy honor, that is euch a dear heritage to him. Occasional. December 2, 1901. Meeting of Townships. The people of Broad River, Fork <?nr1 Soln^o fnwnRhins hpld ft mftRR meeting at Hilton, on last Saturday, the 30;h of November, for the purpose of discussing whether or not j they would continue to pay the Rail GLOBE DRY ( -urEH- ivzozxczzznc iEET, hare of Your Valued ] road Bond Tax, under protest, as heretofore, or have the matter carried 1 into the courts in order to have its I ! legality tested.

U X Gunter, the Assistant ' t Attorney Genera!, wa9 present and j addressed the meeting. He agreed with Mr. Muller in his statements and thought the people had sufficient grounds upon which to make a legal test of the matter, that he was in sympathy with the people, not only cf their section, but of each | and every section of the State labori iug under the same trouble, and that I miT and all assistance he could render them in the investigation of the matter would be freely and gladly given without one cent of remuneration at i their hands. That they had nothing to loose, but all to gain by the fight, and advised them to make the fight. Mr. Mulier stated that he preferred that the meeting would not take any definite action in the matter, and asked that each township interested would have a meeting of its own and decide upon what action if any tbev would take. Upon his suggestion, it was agreed that such meetings would be held on next Saturday, the 7th of December, 1001, and they were so called as follows: Broad River meeting to bQ held at J. K. Summer's store at 12 o'clock m. Fork meeting at Irmo at the same boor, and Saluda meeting to be held at Pme Ridge, at the same hour. Cures Cancer, Blcoi Poison, Batting Soros, Ulcsrs.

Refreshments were served and there were many nice and comical presents given away as prizes to the successful ones in the games of skill and of memory.
